Description

本発明はボウル内の溜水を排出してボウル内を洗浄する便器装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a toilet device for discharging water stored in a bowl and washing the inside of the bowl.

一般的な便器装置は例えば特許文献1のようにボウルの底部にトラップ部を設けて封水し、これにより排水先からトイレ室内に虫や小動物、臭い等が侵入することを防止している。   A common toilet device is provided with a trap portion at the bottom of a bowl as in Patent Document 1, for example, and seals water, thereby preventing insects, small animals, odors and the like from entering the toilet room from the drainage destination.

ところでこの種の便器装置は、便器使用後に給水手段によりボウル内に水を供給すると共に該ボウル内の溜水を排出してボウルの内面を洗浄し、ボウル内の溜水を排出した直後に給水手段によりボウル内に水を供給し、これによりボウル内の溜水の水位が一定の水位となって次回の便器の洗浄に備えられる。   By the way, this kind of toilet device supplies water into the bowl by the water supply means after using the toilet, drains the accumulated water in the bowl, cleans the inner surface of the bowl, and supplies the water immediately after discharging the accumulated water in the bowl. The water is supplied into the bowl by the means, so that the water level of the stored water in the bowl becomes a constant water level and is prepared for the next cleaning of the toilet bowl.

ここで例えばボウル内の溜水の水位を低く設定した場合、洗浄時にボウルから排出される水による汚物を搬送する能力が低く、また溜水よりも上方に位置するボウルの内面に汚物が付着しやすく、このため小便時には問題はないが大便時にはボウル内を綺麗に洗浄できない場合がある。このため従来ではボウル内の溜水の水位を汚物を綺麗に洗浄できる程度に高く設定してあるが、この場合は小便時においてもボウル洗浄時に多量の溜水が排出され、無駄に水を消費してしまう。また小便の場合の洗浄時に給水手段から少量の水をボウル内に供給して、ボウル内の溜水の一部だけを排出することは考えられるが、この場合にはボウル内の溜水に菌が繁殖する恐れがあり衛生的ではない。
特開平11−140940号公報
Here, for example, if the water level of the stored water in the bowl is set low, the ability to transport the filth due to the water discharged from the bowl during cleaning is low, and filth adheres to the inner surface of the bowl located above the stored water. For this reason, there is no problem in the case of urine, but in the case of stool, the bowl may not be cleaned cleanly. For this reason, the water level in the bowl has been set high enough to clean the filth cleanly, but in this case, a large amount of water is drained during bowl cleaning even in the case of urination, which wastes water. Resulting in. In the case of urine cleaning, it is conceivable to supply a small amount of water from the water supply means into the bowl and discharge only a part of the water stored in the bowl. Is not hygienic because there is a risk of breeding.

本発明は上記従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、小便の場合には洗浄時に排出される水の量を少なくして節水でき、また大便の場合には汚物を確実に排出してボウル内を綺麗に洗浄でき、しかもボウル内の溜水に菌が繁殖することを防止する目的で、洗浄時にボウル内の溜水の全てを新たな水に入れ替えるように設定した場合にも上記小便の場合における節水を実現できる便器装置を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention has been invented in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems. In the case of urine, the amount of water discharged during washing can be reduced to save water, and in the case of stool, filth is reliably discharged. In order to clean the inside of the bowl and prevent bacteria from growing in the water stored in the bowl, it is possible to replace all the water stored in the bowl with new water at the time of cleaning. An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet device capable of realizing water saving in the case of urine.

上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る便器装置は、ボウル1内の溜水を排出すると共に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給してボウル1内に通常水位の溜水を溜める便器装置において、給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給することで、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位よりも高い高水位に変更するための水位変更手段を設けて成ることを特徴とする。このような構成を有することで、洗浄時の排水による搬送能力が比較的低くても良い小便の場合には、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位として、洗浄時に排出される溜水の量を少なくして節水でき、また洗浄時の排水による搬送能力を必要とする大便の場合には、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を高水位として汚物を確実に排出してボウル1内を綺麗に洗浄できる。またボウル1内の溜水に菌が残って繁殖することを防止する目的で、洗浄時においてボウル1内の溜水の水位に関わらずボウル1内の溜水の全てをボウル1から排出するように設定した場合にも、上記節水を実現しつつボウル1内の溜水の全てを給水手段3から供給された新たな水に入れ替えることができる。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a toilet device according to the present invention discharges the accumulated water in the bowl 1 and supplies water into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 to collect the normal level water in the bowl 1. In the apparatus, the water supply means 3 supplies water into the bowl 1 to provide water level changing means for changing the water level of the stored water in the bowl 1 to a high water level higher than the normal water level. To do. By having such a configuration, in the case of urine where the conveyance capacity by drainage at the time of cleaning may be relatively low, the level of the stored water in the bowl 1 is set to the normal water level, and the stored water discharged at the time of cleaning is used. In the case of a stool that can save water by reducing the amount of water and requires the ability to transport wastewater during washing, the water level in the bowl 1 is set to a high water level to reliably discharge filth and clean the bowl 1 Can be washed. Also, in order to prevent germs from remaining in the stored water in the bowl 1 and breeding, all the stored water in the bowl 1 is discharged from the bowl 1 regardless of the level of the stored water in the bowl 1 at the time of washing. Even when set to, all of the water stored in the bowl 1 can be replaced with new water supplied from the water supply means 3 while realizing the above water saving.

また水位変更手段は、便座2に人が着座したことを検知する着座検知手段8と、着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を自動的に供給して、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から高水位に変更する制御手段とで構成されることが好ましい。この場合、制御手段は、便座2に人が着座していない場合には男性が小便すると仮定してボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位に保持し、また着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合には使用者が大便すると仮定してボウル1内の溜水の水位を自動的に高水位に変更できて、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を使用形態に対応して自動的に変更できる。   The water level changing means includes a seating detection means 8 for detecting that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, and when the seating detection means 8 detects that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, Is preferably supplied with a control means for automatically changing the level of the water stored in the bowl 1 from the normal water level to the high water level. In this case, the control means assumes that when a person is not seated on the toilet seat 2, a man urinates and maintains the water level of the accumulated water in the bowl 1 at the normal water level. When it is detected that a person is seated, the water level in the bowl 1 can be automatically changed to a high water level assuming that the user is convenient, and the water level in the bowl 1 is changed to the usage mode. It can be changed automatically in response.

また水位変更手段は給水手段3でボウル1内に水を供給するか否かを切換える操作部12で構成されることが好ましい。簡単な構成で水位変更手段を構成でき、また使用者により溜水の水位を変更できる。   The water level changing means is preferably constituted by an operation unit 12 for switching whether or not to supply water into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3. The water level changing means can be configured with a simple configuration, and the water level of the stored water can be changed by the user.

また制御手段は、着座検知手段8により予め設定された設定時間t4継続して便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を高水位に変更するものであることが好ましい。便座2に設定時間t4継続して人が着座したことを検知した場合にのみボウル1内の溜水の水位を高水位に変更することができて、比較的短時間ですむ女性小便時にボウル1内の溜水の水位が高水位に変更されることを防止でき、大便で使用される場合にのみボウル1内の溜水の水位を確実に高水位に変更できる。   Further, the control means supplies water into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the seating detection means 8 detects that a person has been seated on the toilet seat 2 continuously for a preset time t4. It is preferable that the water level of the stored water is changed to a high water level. Only when it is detected that a person has been seated on the toilet seat 2 for a set time t4, the water level in the bowl 1 can be changed to a high water level. It is possible to prevent the stored water level in the bowl 1 from being changed to a high water level, and the water level in the bowl 1 can be reliably changed to a high water level only when used in the stool.

また制御手段は、着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座したことを検知した際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から通常水位よりも高い中水位に変更し、この後、便座2に人が着座した時から上記設定時間t4継続して便座2に人が着座した場合に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を中水位から該中水位よりも高い上記高水位に変更するものであることが好ましい。この場合、比較的短時間ですむ女性小便の場合にはボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位よりも低い中水位として、後の洗浄時の排水による搬送能力を通常水位の時よりも高めることができ、これにより女性小便時に利用された紙を確実にボウル1外へ排出できる。またこの女性小便の場合においてもボウル1内の溜水の水位を高水位よりも低い中水位にして、洗浄時に排出される溜水の量を少なくして節水できる。   The control means supplies water to the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the seating detection means 8 detects that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2 and changes the water level in the bowl 1 from the normal water level to the normal water level. After that, when the person is seated on the toilet seat 2 for the set time t4 after the person is seated on the toilet seat 2, water is supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3. It is preferable that the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the middle water level to the high water level higher than the middle water level. In this case, in the case of a female urine that requires a relatively short time, the water level in the bowl 1 is set to a medium water level lower than the normal water level, so that the conveying capacity by drainage at the time of subsequent cleaning is increased compared to the normal water level. As a result, the paper used during the female urination can be reliably discharged out of the bowl 1. Even in the case of this female urine, the water level in the bowl 1 can be reduced to a medium water level lower than the high water level to reduce the amount of water discharged during washing, thereby saving water.

また上記給水手段3は、ボウル1の内面において少なくとも上記通常水位とした時のボウル1内の溜水の水位よりも上方に位置する部分に水を供給するものであることが好ましい。前述の制御手段は、着座検知手段8により上記設定時間t4継続して便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合、即ち男性大便や女性大便の場合には、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位とした後に高水位に変更することができるが、ここでボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位とする場合に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水でボウル1の内面における溜水よりも上方の部分をプレ洗浄でき、これによりボウル1の内面が汚れることを防止できる。   Moreover, it is preferable that the said water supply means 3 supplies water to the part located above the water level of the stored water in the bowl 1 at least when the normal water level is set to the inner surface of the bowl 1. When the seating detection means 8 detects that a person has been seated on the toilet seat 2 for the set time t4, that is, in the case of male stool or female stool, the level of the accumulated water in the bowl 1 Can be changed to a high water level after the normal water level is changed from the normal water level to the medium water level. When the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the intermediate water level, the water is supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3. A portion of the inner surface of the bowl 1 above the accumulated water can be pre-cleaned with water, and this prevents the inner surface of the bowl 1 from being soiled.

また上記ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水に洗剤を混入する洗剤供給装置9を設けることが好ましい。上記プレ洗浄の際に洗剤を含む水でボウル1の内面を洗浄できる。   Further, it is preferable to provide a detergent supply device 9 that mixes detergent into the water supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level. During the pre-cleaning, the inner surface of the bowl 1 can be cleaned with water containing a detergent.

また上記ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水に気泡を混入する気泡混入装置10を設けることが好ましい。上記プレ洗浄の際に気泡を含む水からなる泡層でボウル1の内面を保護して排便時にボウル1の内面に汚物が付着することを一層防止できる。   In addition, it is preferable to provide a bubble mixing device 10 for mixing bubbles in the water supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level. During the pre-cleaning, the inner surface of the bowl 1 can be protected with a foam layer made of water containing air bubbles, and dirt can be further prevented from adhering to the inner surface of the bowl 1 during defecation.

本発明では小便の場合には洗浄時に排出される溜水の量を少なくして節水でき、また大便の場合には汚物を確実に排出してボウル内を綺麗に洗浄でき、しかもボウル内の溜水に菌が残って繁殖することを防止する目的で、ボウル内の溜水の水位に関わらず洗浄時においてボウル内の溜水の全てをボウルから排出するように設定した場合に、上記節水を実現しつつボウル内の溜水の全てを給水手段から供給された新たな水に入れ替えることができる。   In the present invention, in the case of urine, it is possible to save water by reducing the amount of stored water discharged at the time of washing, and in the case of stool, the filth can be surely discharged to clean the inside of the bowl cleanly. In order to prevent germs from remaining in the water and propagating, the above water-saving mode can be used when all the stored water in the bowl is discharged from the bowl during cleaning regardless of the water level in the bowl. It is possible to replace all the water stored in the bowl with new water supplied from the water supply means while realizing it.

以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明する。図1に示す本実施形態の一例の便器装置は、一般の着座式水洗便器と同様、ボウル1と、ボウル1上に配設される開閉自在な便座2と、ボウル1内に水を供給する給水手段3を備えている。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. The toilet apparatus of an example of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 supplies water into the bowl 1, the openable / closable toilet seat 2 disposed on the bowl 1, and the bowl 1, similarly to a general seated flush toilet. A water supply means 3 is provided.

給水手段3としては給水と同時にボウル1の溜水上の内面をも洗浄できるように、ボウル1の内面における溜水の水面(詳しくは後述の高水位時の溜水の水面)よりも上方に位置する上端部の周部に水を供給するものを用いる。ここで給水手段3からボウル1内に水を供給するか否かを切換える手段として、ボウル1内に供給される水の流路3aには開閉弁3bを設けてあり、開閉弁3bを開にした場合には給水手段3から一定流量の水がボウル1内に供給されてボウル1内を洗浄できるようになっている。具体的には開閉弁3bを開にした状態では17.5L/分の水を常にボウル1内に供給するように設定してある。   The water supply means 3 is located above the water level of the stored water on the inner surface of the bowl 1 (more specifically, the level of the stored water at the high water level described later) so that the inner surface of the stored water of the bowl 1 can be cleaned simultaneously with the water supply. What supplies water to the peripheral part of the upper end part to be used is used. Here, as a means for switching whether or not to supply water from the water supply means 3 into the bowl 1, an opening / closing valve 3 b is provided in the flow path 3 a of water supplied into the bowl 1, and the opening / closing valve 3 b is opened. In this case, a constant flow of water is supplied from the water supply means 3 into the bowl 1 so that the inside of the bowl 1 can be cleaned. Specifically, when the on-off valve 3b is opened, 17.5 L / min of water is always supplied into the bowl 1.

またボウル1の底部にはトラップ部として上下反転可能なターントラップ4を設けている。ターントラップ4は屈曲変形可能な管状の部材からなり、その一端をボウル1の底部から突出して設けた排水口部1aに接続すると共に共に他端をシュート5内で開放している。ターントラップ4はモータ装置6を駆動することで、屈曲変形して自由端となった他端開口からなる排出口4aを図1の実線に示す上側に向けた状態と破線に示す下側に向けた状態とに反転できるようにしている。従ってモータ装置6を駆動することで、ターントラップ4は排出口4aを上向きにしてボウル1内に水を溜める状態と、排出口4aを下向にしてボウル1内の水を排出する状態とに切換えられるようになっている。   A turn trap 4 that can be turned upside down is provided as a trap portion at the bottom of the bowl 1. The turn trap 4 is formed of a tubular member that can be bent and deformed. One end of the turn trap 4 is connected to a drain port 1 a that protrudes from the bottom of the bowl 1 and the other end is opened in the chute 5. The turn trap 4 drives the motor device 6 so that the discharge port 4a formed of the other end opening which is bent and deformed to the free end is directed upward as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 and directed downward as shown by the broken line. So that it can be reversed. Accordingly, when the motor device 6 is driven, the turn trap 4 stores the water in the bowl 1 with the discharge port 4a facing up, and the state in which the water in the bowl 1 is discharged with the discharge port 4a facing down. It can be switched.

図2に示すように上記ターントラップ4を駆動するモータ装置6とボウル1内に洗浄用の水を供給するか否かを切換える開閉弁3bは制御部7に電気的に接続している。そして制御部7にはスイッチ等からなる洗浄用操作部11を接続してあり、洗浄用操作部11を手動操作することで制御部7は以下に示すように開閉弁3b及びモータ装置6を制御してボウル1内を洗浄できるようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 2, a motor device 6 that drives the turn trap 4 and an on-off valve 3 b that switches whether or not to supply cleaning water into the bowl 1 are electrically connected to the control unit 7. The control unit 7 is connected with a cleaning operation unit 11 including a switch. By manually operating the cleaning operation unit 11, the control unit 7 controls the on-off valve 3b and the motor device 6 as shown below. Thus, the inside of the bowl 1 can be cleaned.

即ち制御部7は、開閉弁3bが閉で且つターントラップ4の排出口4aが上向きの状態(つまりボウル1内に溜水が溜められている状態)で洗浄用操作部11が操作されると、図3〜5に示すように、開閉弁3bを開いて給水手段3によるボウル1内への水の供給を開始し、同時にターントラップ4の排出口4aを下向きとしてボウル1内の水の排出を開始する。次に制御部7は、前記ターントラップ4の排出口4aを下向きにしてボウル1からの水の排出を開始した時(即ち開閉弁3bを開にした時)から予め設定した所定時間t1が経過した時にターントラップ4の排出口4aを上向きとしてボウル1内の水の排出を停止する。これにより給水手段3によりボウル1内へ供給された水と共にボウル1内に予め溜められた溜水の全てが排水口部1a、ターントラップ4、シュート5の流出口5aを順に介して排出されることとなる。そしてこの後、前記開閉弁3bを開にした時から予め設定した所定時間t2(t2>t1)が経過した時点で開状態にある開閉弁3bを閉じて給水手段3によるボウル1内への水の供給を停止する。これにより前記排水を停止した時点以降は、給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給された水が排水されずにターントラップ4内及びボウル1内に徐々に溜められることとなり、しかして前記給水を停止した時点ではボウル1内の溜水の水位は常に図1の実線イで示す通常水位となる。具体的にはターントラップ4の排出口4aを下向きにした時点から5秒経過した時点でターントラップ4の排出口4aを上向きとし、さらに5秒経過した時点(即ち開閉弁3bを開にした時点から10秒経過した時点)で開閉弁3bを閉じ、この後、1.46Lの量の水をボウル1内に供給して通常水位とする。これによりボウル1内で通常水位まで溜められた溜水の量は1.46Lとなる。   That is, when the on-off valve 3b is closed and the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 is facing upward (that is, in a state where accumulated water is accumulated in the bowl 1), the control unit 7 operates the cleaning operation unit 11. 3-5, the on-off valve 3b is opened to start supplying water into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3, and at the same time, the water in the bowl 1 is discharged with the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 facing downward. To start. Next, a predetermined time t1 elapses after the control unit 7 starts discharging the water from the bowl 1 with the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 facing downward (that is, when the on-off valve 3b is opened). At this time, the discharge of the water in the bowl 1 is stopped with the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 facing upward. Thus, all of the water stored in the bowl 1 together with the water supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 is discharged through the drain port 1a, the turn trap 4 and the outlet 5a of the chute 5 in this order. It will be. After that, when the predetermined time t2 (t2> t1) elapses from when the on-off valve 3b is opened, the on-off valve 3b in the open state is closed and water is supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3. Stop supplying. As a result, after the time when the drainage is stopped, the water supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 is not drained but is gradually accumulated in the turn trap 4 and the bowl 1, and the water supply is stopped. At that time, the water level in the bowl 1 is always the normal water level indicated by the solid line a in FIG. Specifically, when 5 seconds have passed since the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 is turned downward, the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 is turned upward, and when 5 seconds have passed (that is, when the on-off valve 3b is opened) The valve 3b is closed at the time when 10 seconds have elapsed since then, and then an amount of 1.46 L of water is supplied into the bowl 1 to reach the normal water level. As a result, the amount of water stored in the bowl 1 to the normal water level is 1.46L.

上記通常水位は上向きとなったターントラップ4の排出口4aの高さによって決定される最高水位よりもかなり低く設定してあるが、ボウル1の排水口部1aよりも上方に位置しており、これにより以後ボウル1内に溜水が溜められた状態ではターントラップ4が封水されて、排水先からトイレ室内に虫や小動物、臭い等が侵入することが防止される。   The normal water level is set to be considerably lower than the maximum water level determined by the height of the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 turned upward, but is located above the drain port 1a of the bowl 1, As a result, the turn trap 4 is sealed in a state where the water is stored in the bowl 1 thereafter, and insects, small animals, odors and the like are prevented from entering the toilet room from the drainage destination.

ここで本発明の便器装置には上記ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位よりも高い図1の破線ロに示す高水位に変更するための水位変更手段を設けてあり、本例では水位変更手段として、便座2に人が着座したことを検知する着座検知手段8と、着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を自動的に供給して、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から高水位に変更する制御手段とを設けている。   Here, the toilet apparatus of the present invention is provided with a water level changing means for changing the level of the stored water in the bowl 1 to the high water level shown by the broken line b in FIG. 1 higher than the normal water level. As the changing means, seating detection means 8 for detecting that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, and when the seating detection means 8 detects that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, water is automatically supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3. And a control means for changing the water level of the stored water in the bowl 1 from the normal water level to the high water level.

着座検知手段8としては、便座2に設けた圧力センサーや、タッチセンサー、赤外線センサー等の従来から知られている便座2に人が着座した状態にあるか否かを常時検知可能な着座検知センサーが用いられる。   As the seating detection means 8, a seating detection sensor capable of always detecting whether or not a person is seated on a conventionally known toilet seat 2, such as a pressure sensor provided on the toilet seat 2, a touch sensor, an infrared sensor or the like. Is used.

また制御手段は上記着座検知手段8が接続された制御部7により構成している。制御部7は図3〜5に示すように着座検知手段8で便座2に人が着座したことを検知するまでは開閉弁3bを閉で且つターントラップ4の排出口4aを上向きとした状態とする。そして図4及び図5のように着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合には、制御部7はまずこの時に開閉弁3bを一定時間t3だけ開にし、これによりボウル1内に所定量の水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から通常水位よりも一段高い図1の破線ハに示す中水位に変更する。具体的には溜水が通常水位にある時に着座検知手段8により着座を検知した場合、開閉弁3bを5秒間開にしてボウル1内に1.46Lの水を供給して合計2.92Lの溜水を溜めて中水位とする。   The control means is constituted by a control unit 7 to which the seating detection means 8 is connected. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the control unit 7 closes the on-off valve 3 b and keeps the discharge port 4 a of the turn trap 4 upward until the seating detection means 8 detects that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2. To do. 4 and 5, when the seating detecting means 8 detects that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, the controller 7 first opens the on-off valve 3b for a certain time t3 at this time, thereby 1, a predetermined amount of water is supplied, and the water level of the stored water in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level shown by the broken line C in FIG. Specifically, when seating is detected by the seating detection means 8 when the accumulated water is at a normal water level, the opening / closing valve 3b is opened for 5 seconds, and 1.46 L of water is supplied into the bowl 1 for a total of 2.92 L. Accumulate the accumulated water to the middle water level.

そしてこの後、図5のように着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座した時から予め設定した設定時間t4継続して便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合には、制御部7はこの時から開閉弁3bを一定時間t5(実施例ではt5=t3)だけ開にし、これによりボウル1内に所定量の水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を中水位から高水位に変更する。具体的には30秒継続して便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合に、開閉弁3bを5秒間開にしてボウル1内に1.46Lの水を供給して合計4.38Lの溜水を溜めて高水位とする。   Then, when it is detected by the seating detection means 8 that a person has been seated on the toilet seat 2 for a preset time t4 after the seating detection means 8 has been seated, as shown in FIG. From this time, the on-off valve 3b is opened for a predetermined time t5 (in the embodiment, t5 = t3), whereby a predetermined amount of water is supplied into the bowl 1 and the water level in the bowl 1 is increased from the middle water level. Change to water level. Specifically, when it is detected that a person has been seated on the toilet seat 2 continuously for 30 seconds, the on-off valve 3b is opened for 5 seconds and 1.46 L of water is supplied into the bowl 1 for a total of 4.38 L. Accumulate the accumulated water to raise the water level.

上記制御により、男性小便の時には図3、女性小便の時には図4、男性大便及び女性大便の時には図5のようにボウル1内への水の供給と排水を行うことができる。   With the above control, water can be supplied and drained into the bowl 1 as shown in FIG. 3 for male urine, FIG. 4 for female urine, and FIG. 5 for male and female urine.

即ち図3に示す男性小便時には通常は着座検知手段8で便座2に人が着座したことが検知されないため、制御部7は洗浄前においては給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給しない。従って男性が小便をすませて洗浄用操作部11が操作された時点(即ち図3のXに示す時点)では溜水の水位が通常水位程度であり、この場合、洗浄用操作部11の一回の操作によりボウル1外に排出される水の量は、通常水位まで溜められた溜水の量1.46Lとターントラップ4の排出口4aを下向きにしている間にボウル1内に供給された水の量1.46Lとを合わせた2.92Lとなる。これにより男性小便時には少量の水しかボウル1外に排出されず節水できる。また洗浄用操作部11の操作による洗浄時にはボウル1内の溜水の全てを排水して入れ替えることができるのでボウル1内に菌が繁殖することも防止できる。   That is, in the case of male urine shown in FIG. 3, since the seating detection means 8 does not normally detect that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, the controller 7 does not supply water into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 before washing. Accordingly, when the man pisses and the cleaning operation unit 11 is operated (that is, the time indicated by X in FIG. 3), the water level of the stored water is about the normal water level. The amount of water discharged to the outside of the bowl 1 by the above operation was supplied into the bowl 1 while the amount 1.46L of the water stored up to the normal water level and the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 faced downward. The combined amount of water 1.46L is 2.92L. As a result, only a small amount of water is drained out of the bowl 1 during male urination, thus saving water. Moreover, since all of the water stored in the bowl 1 can be drained and replaced during cleaning by the operation of the cleaning operation unit 11, it is possible to prevent bacteria from growing in the bowl 1.

また図4に示す女性小便の時には通常は着座検知手段8で便座2に人が着座したことが検知され、またこの後設定時間t4が経過する前までに離座が検知される。従って制御部7は便座2に人が着座した時に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給して通常水位にある溜水の水位を中水位とし、この後の洗浄前においてはボウル1内に水を供給しない。この場合、女性が小便をすませて洗浄用操作部11が操作された時点(即ち図4のYに示す時点)では溜水の水位が中水位程度となっているので、洗浄用操作部11の一回の操作によりボウル1外に排出される水の量は、中水位まで溜められた溜水の量2.92Lとターントラップ4の排出口4aを下向きにしている間にボウル1内に供給された水の量1.46Lとを合わせた4.38Lとなる。ここで通常は女性が小便をすませた後には利用された紙がボウル1内に投入されるが、本例では上記のように女性が小便をすませた後における溜水の水位は通常水位よりも一段高い中水位程度となるので、洗浄用操作部11の操作によって行われる洗浄時の排水による搬送能力を通常水位の時よりも高めることができ、これにより女性小便時にボウル1内に投入された紙のボウル1外への排出を確実に行える。また女性小便時においても後述の大便時と比較して少量の溜水しかボウル1外に排出されないので節水できる。   In the case of the female urine shown in FIG. 4, it is usually detected by the seating detection means 8 that a person has been seated on the toilet seat 2, and then the seating is detected before the set time t4 elapses. Therefore, the control unit 7 supplies water into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when a person is seated on the toilet seat 2 and sets the level of the stored water at the normal water level to the middle water level. Do not supply water. In this case, since the level of the stored water is about the middle water level when the woman urinates and the cleaning operation unit 11 is operated (that is, the time indicated by Y in FIG. 4), the cleaning operation unit 11 The amount of water discharged out of the bowl 1 by one operation is supplied to the bowl 1 while the amount of retained water 2.92L accumulated to the middle water level and the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 are directed downward. The total amount of water produced is 1.38L, which is 4.38L. Here, normally, after the woman has pissed, the used paper is put into the bowl 1, but in this example, the water level after the woman has pissed is higher than the normal water level as described above. Since the water level becomes higher by one step, the conveying capacity by the waste water at the time of washing performed by the operation of the washing operation unit 11 can be increased as compared with the normal water level, and this is put into the bowl 1 at the time of female urination. The paper can be reliably discharged out of the bowl 1. In addition, even in the case of female urination, only a small amount of accumulated water is discharged out of the bowl 1 compared to the time of stool described later, so that water can be saved.

また図5に示す男性大便及び女性大便の時には通常着座検知手段8で便座2に人が着座したことが検知され、またこの後、便座2に着座した時から設定時間t4継続して便座2に人が着座したことが検知される。従って制御部7は着座した時に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給して通常水位にある溜水の水位を中水位とし、この後設定時間t4が経過した時に給水手段3によりさらにボウル1内に水を供給して中水位にある溜水の水位を高水位とする。この場合、男性又は女性が大便をすませて洗浄用操作部11が操作された時点(即ち図5のYに示す時点)ではボウル1内の溜水の水位が高水位程度となるので、洗浄用操作部11の一回の操作によりボウル1外に排出される水の量は、高水位まで溜められた溜水の量4.38Lとターントラップ4の排出口4aを下向きにしている間にボウル1内に供給された水の量1.46Lとを合わせた5.84Lとなる。これにより男性大便時及び女性大便時においては洗浄用操作部11の操作により排水した時の汚物の搬送能力を前記通常水位の時や中水位の時よりも高めることができ、汚物をボウル1外に確実に排出できる。またこの場合、溜水は高水位にあるのでボウル1の内面に汚物が付着し難く、綺麗にボウル1内を洗浄できる。また着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座したことを検知した時に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水(即ち溜水を中水位とするためにボウル1内に供給される水)は溜水よりも上方のボウル1の内面に沿って流れた後、ボウル1内に溜められるので、ボウル1の内面を給水手段3から供給された水によりプレ洗浄(前洗浄)でき、これによりボウル1の内面に汚物が付着することをより一層防止できる。   Further, in the case of male stool and female stool shown in FIG. 5, it is detected by the normal seating detection means 8 that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, and thereafter, after the seating on the toilet seat 2, the set time t4 continues to the toilet seat 2. It is detected that a person is seated. Therefore, when the controller 7 is seated, the water supply means 3 supplies water into the bowl 1 to set the level of the stored water at the normal water level to the middle water level. Thereafter, when the set time t4 has elapsed, the water supply means 3 further supplies the bowl 1 with the water level. Water is supplied inside and the water level at the middle water level is set to the high water level. In this case, since the water level in the bowl 1 is about a high water level when the man or woman stools and the cleaning operation unit 11 is operated (that is, the time indicated by Y in FIG. 5), The amount of water discharged to the outside of the bowl 1 by one operation of the operation unit 11 is 4.38 L of water stored up to a high water level while the discharge port 4a of the turn trap 4 is facing downward. The total amount of water supplied in 1 is 1.84L, which is 5.84L. As a result, in the case of male stool and female stool, the ability to transport filth when drained by the operation of the washing operation unit 11 can be increased as compared with the normal water level and the middle water level, and the filth is removed from the bowl 1 Can be discharged reliably. Further, in this case, since the stored water is at a high water level, dirt is hardly attached to the inner surface of the bowl 1, and the inside of the bowl 1 can be cleaned cleanly. Further, when the seating detection means 8 detects that a person is seated on the toilet seat 2, the water supplied to the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 (that is, the water supplied to the bowl 1 to make the accumulated water the middle water level). Since the water flows along the inner surface of the bowl 1 above the stored water and is stored in the bowl 1, the inner surface of the bowl 1 can be pre-cleaned (pre-cleaned) with water supplied from the water supply means 3, thereby It is possible to further prevent filth from adhering to the inner surface of the bowl 1.

また上記実施例における便器装置において、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水に洗剤を混入する洗剤供給装置9を設けても良い。洗剤供給装置9は溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水(即ち図4及び図5においてプレ洗浄に用いられる水)に洗剤を供給するものであって、例えば図6に示すように給水手段3を構成する流路3aの途中に接続されて流路3aを流れる水に洗剤を供給するものが用いられる。また洗剤供給装置9により供給される洗剤としては例えば1000倍〜50000倍に水で希釈して用いられる家庭用一般洗剤の原液が用いられ、洗剤供給装置9はこの洗剤を任意の希釈倍率となるように上記プレ洗浄に用いられる水に自動的に供給する。これにより少量の洗剤でボウル1の内面の防汚効果を効率的に高めることができ、また後に溜水を排出する時にはボウル1の内面を効果的に洗浄できる。なお上記洗剤供給装置9は溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水(即ち図4及び図5においてプレ洗浄に用いられる水)にのみ洗剤を供給するものであっても良いし、これ以外の給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水にも洗剤を供給するものであっても良い。   In the toilet apparatus in the above embodiment, the detergent supply device 9 for mixing detergent into the water supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level is provided. It may be provided. The detergent supply device 9 supplies the detergent to the water (that is, water used for pre-cleaning in FIGS. 4 and 5) supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the level of the stored water is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, one that is connected in the middle of the flow path 3 a constituting the water supply means 3 and supplies detergent to the water flowing through the flow path 3 a is used. Moreover, as the detergent supplied by the detergent supply device 9, for example, a stock solution of a general household detergent used by diluting with water to 1000 times to 50000 times is used, and the detergent supply device 9 has an arbitrary dilution factor. Thus, the water used for the pre-cleaning is automatically supplied. Thereby, the antifouling effect on the inner surface of the bowl 1 can be efficiently enhanced with a small amount of detergent, and the inner surface of the bowl 1 can be effectively cleaned when drained water is discharged later. The detergent supply device 9 supplies the water supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the water level of the stored water is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level (that is, water used for pre-cleaning in FIGS. 4 and 5). Only the detergent may be supplied, or the detergent may also be supplied to the water supplied into the bowl 1 by other water supply means 3.

また上記実施例における便器装置において、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水に気泡を混入する気泡混入装置10を設けても良い。気泡混入装置10としては例えば図6に示すように給水手段3を構成する流路3aの途中に設けられて給水時におけるエジェクタ効果を利用して流路3a内の流れる水に気泡となる外気を混入するものが用いられる。これにより気泡を含む水からなる泡層でボウル1の内面を保護して排便時の汚物付着性を低下できる。また図6のように気泡混入装置10及び洗剤供給装置9の両方を設けたものにあっては、洗剤を混入した水に気泡を混入することで洗浄液の見かけ上の体積が大きくなり、ボウル1の内面に洗浄液が広く行き渡るため、洗浄液による防汚効果を一層高めることができる。なお上記気泡混入装置10はボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する際に給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水(即ち図4及び図5においてプレ洗浄に用いられる水)にのみ気泡を供給するものであっても良いし、これ以外の給水手段3によりボウル1内に供給される水にも洗剤を供給するものであっても良い。また図6では気泡混入装置10及び洗剤供給装置9の両方を設けたが一方のみを設けても良いものとする。   Further, in the toilet apparatus in the above embodiment, the bubble mixing device 10 for mixing bubbles in the water supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level. It may be provided. As the bubble mixing device 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, outside air that is provided in the middle of the flow path 3 a constituting the water supply means 3 and uses the ejector effect at the time of water supply as bubbles in the flowing water in the flow path 3 a. What is mixed in is used. Thereby, the inner surface of the bowl 1 can be protected with a foam layer made of water containing bubbles, and the adherence of filth during defecation can be reduced. In the case where both the bubble mixing device 10 and the detergent supply device 9 are provided as shown in FIG. 6, the apparent volume of the cleaning liquid is increased by mixing bubbles in the water mixed with the detergent, and the bowl 1 Since the cleaning liquid spreads widely on the inner surface of the surface, the antifouling effect by the cleaning liquid can be further enhanced. The bubble mixing device 10 is used for pre-cleaning in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 when water is supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 when the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the middle water level. The water may be supplied only to the water), or the detergent supplied to the water supplied into the bowl 1 by other water supply means 3 may be used. In FIG. 6, both the bubble mixing device 10 and the detergent supply device 9 are provided, but only one of them may be provided.

また上記制御手段は、着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座した場合に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更し、この後、着座検知手段8により設定時間t4継続して便座2に人が着座したことを検知した場合に給水手段3によりボウル1内に水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を中水位から高水位に変更するものであり、つまり着座検知手段8の検知結果に基づいてボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位を経て高水位にまで段階的に上昇させるものあるが、例えば着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座した時点から設定時間t4が経過するまでは給水手段3からボウル1内に水を供給せず溜水の水位を変更せずに通常水位とし、この後、着座検知手段8により便座2に人が着座した時点から設定時間t4が経過した時点でボウル1内に水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から高水位に変更するようにしても良い。   Further, when the person is seated on the toilet seat 2 by the seating detection means 8, the control means supplies water into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3 and changes the water level in the bowl 1 from the normal water level to the middle water level. Thereafter, when the seating detection means 8 detects that a person has been seated on the toilet seat 2 for a set time t4, water is supplied into the bowl 1 by the water supply means 3, and the water level in the bowl 1 is adjusted. In other words, the water level in the bowl 1 is gradually increased from the normal water level to the high water level based on the detection result of the seating detection means 8. However, until the set time t4 elapses from when the person is seated on the toilet seat 2 by the seating detection means 8, water is not supplied from the water supply means 3 into the bowl 1 and the water level is changed to the normal water level without changing. Thereafter, the toilet seat is detected by the seating detection means 8. By supplying water into the bowl 1 may be changed the water level of accumulated water in the bowl 1 from the normal water level to the high level at the time the person has passed the set time t4 from the time of sitting on.

さらには上記水位変更手段として給水手段3を操作する操作部12を設けても良い。具体的には図7のようにスイッチからなる洗浄用操作部11の近傍に、操作部12として大便用スイッチ12a及び女性小便用スイッチ12bを設けている。そして女性小便用スイッチ12bが手動で操作された場合には、制御部7は上記実施例と同様にこの時点で開閉弁3bを予め設定された一定時間t3だけ開にし、これによりボウル1内に所定量の水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から中水位に変更する。また大便用スイッチ12aが手動で操作された場合には、制御部7はこの時点で開閉弁3bを前記女性小便用スイッチ12bが操作された時に開閉弁3bが開にされた時間t3よりも長い一定時間だけ開にし、これによりボウル1内に所定量の水を供給してボウル1内の溜水の水位を通常水位から高水位に変更する。   Furthermore, you may provide the operation part 12 which operates the water supply means 3 as said water level change means. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, a stool switch 12a and a female urine switch 12b are provided as the operation unit 12 in the vicinity of the washing operation unit 11 including switches. When the female urine switch 12b is manually operated, the control unit 7 opens the on-off valve 3b at this point in time for a predetermined time t3 at the same time as in the above-described embodiment. A predetermined amount of water is supplied to change the water level in the bowl 1 from the normal water level to the middle water level. Further, when the stool switch 12a is manually operated, the control unit 7 at this time makes the on / off valve 3b longer than the time t3 when the on / off valve 3b is opened when the female urine switch 12b is operated. It is opened for a certain period of time, whereby a predetermined amount of water is supplied into the bowl 1 and the water level in the bowl 1 is changed from the normal water level to the high water level.

このように給水手段3を操作する操作部で水位変更手段を構成することができ、この場合にも男性小便、女性小便、男性大便及び女性大便の3種類の使用形態に対応して、ボウル1内の溜水の水位を変更できる。   In this way, the water level changing means can be configured by the operation unit for operating the water supply means 3, and in this case, the bowl 1 corresponds to three types of usage forms of male urine, female urine, male urine and female stool. You can change the water level inside.

なお上記いずれの実施例にあっても便器装置の洗浄方式はターントラップ式であるが、トラップ部としてサイフォン式トラップを設けてサイフォン作用によりボウル1内の水を排水するサイフォン式としたり、また洗い落とし式としても良いものとする。   In any of the above-described embodiments, the toilet apparatus is cleaned by a turn trap type. However, a siphon type trap is provided as a trap part to drain water in the bowl 1 by siphon action, or it is washed off. It can also be a formula.
